Can I find someone’s address without paying out for 192 address finder?

[S021]

Just wondering.
Nothing dodgy, just trying to contact a relative but don’t want other family to know (surprise party) so can’t ask them.

Are they in the phone book (you can search it online for free?)

No. I’ve tried that. Only BT though so I assume they’re with a different provider or possibly don’t have a landline.

Thanks for suggestion though.

Looks like I will have to pay out £15 for 6 credits on 192 and I only want 1

Is it possible they run a company? If so it may be worth trying Companies House as they tend to have at least business and often home addresses on their data bases

Thank you. I have checked and no, they don’t x

Electoral register at the local library? I think it's free to access.

Pay for a credit check

Use 118 118

Thanks for info about electoral role

118 will only give me a landline number

Phone up the landline number and ask them their address?

They don’t have a landline.

Do you have any clues as to where it is? (have you been before / know the area?)
Have a look on social media for clues? (or someone else who will knkw the address)
Call a family friend / second cousin etc and ask them to keep the secret, and if they know?
Come up with a different reason to ask directly?
Sneak a look in an address book?

Take out a free trial with ancestry and you can access the electoral roll, I think only up to 2007 though so they'd have to be living in the same place

If your local library has a family history group they might offer free acess to Ancestry.com. (i honesty don't work for the library!)

Can you private FB message them?

Is there no one who knows them other than the person (or couple) you are surprising ...

Thanks for advice.

I’ve arranged to visit at the weekend and hope to get hold of an address book
